Application filc(l June 27, 1854. (N0 mmltl) T0 all wlwm z't may c0ncern:

Be it known thab I, M AN'IHUS SATIERLEE, a citizen 0f the United Slales, resi ling ab N orlh Brookfield, in the county of Madison and State 0l" New York, have invenlerl a new ancl usefu1 Plow, cf which lhe following is a specification, reference be1'ng hacl t0 the ac companying drawings.

This invenlion relales 130 plows; and it 1ms f0r :lts object t0 provicle an improved form cf bean1 t0 which a series 01 gang 01 pl0ws may be attaehed.

A furlher object of the invention 1'S t0 provide an improved f0rm 0f slandard f0r attach- 1'ng the hanclles to the beams, wherebythe handles may be moved up 01 d0wn and t0 t-l1e right 0r lefr-, as n1ay be lound clcsirable; and a Still fu1ther object of 1ny invenbion is t0 provide a superior plan 0l' attaching ehe plow-standards t0 the beam, w-hereby the plows may bexnoved laterally to suit tl1e work required t0 be done.

-\Vith thcse and olher ob jects in view, tl1e said invention conslsts in certain details 0f construction and combination 0f arts, as here- 1'nafter set forth and particularlypointed out in the c1aim.

In the accompanying drawings, Fignre l is a perspective view, looking ab the freut 0f l;he machine, 0f 1ny improved gangplow with all the parts attached in position. Fig. 2 1's a rear perspective view ol' l;he same. Fig. 3 1's a detail perspeclzive view of the standard, wh1'ch connects tl1e handles t-0 lhe beam. Fig.

4 is a longitudinal section throngh one of the branches ol the beam. Fig. 5 1's a transverse Section.

Like letters refer t0 corresponding arts in the scv eral figures.

Referring t0 the drawings, A designates the plow-beam, comprising two branches C D, one longer than the other, and to the real end of which the plows are attached in the manner hereinal'tcr despribecl, the branches being c0n nected together loy cross-bars B E and threaded rods F with nuts G. In this manner the branches will be held together parallel With each other, and 'lll0 Will be no (langer of the parts separating while in use.

H clesignates plows bifurcated als their up per end to f0rm standards I", each 0f whicl1 have lateral extensions, J formed ab their npper cnds, said extensions being slolted als K t0 revelve a suitable holt. L provided witl1 a nnlz, M als the npper enrl. S2\ICl holt passing lhrough the branches ol' the heam am! operating; in the manner tlescribed, so that by loosening Ehe nuls the bolls will allmv tlxe adjustmcnt- 0f thc plows laterall v l0 suit tl1e work reqnired l0 l e done. wlwn lhe nnls (:zu1 be tightened to'h0ld the plows in l;hat adjustrnent.

Il1 will be Seen that hy reason of tl1e varialsion in the length 0f l1he branches O D the plows are arranged 011 0ne side, one being f0r= ward 0f the other, so that the rear plow Will Cover the furrow macle l y the freut pl0w.

N designates a UShapefl bracket, one arm 0f which is piv0ted t0 l;he side 0f brauch D 0f the bean1 A, and the other arm is slot-ted als O- t0 receive a bindingscrew, I, whicl1 enters the brauch D, tl1e bracket being slotted ab Q al; the poiut ofjunction of the tw0 arms, said slot Qf rcceiving the journalt cf roller er wheel R a nnt, u, being arranged t0 bind thejournal ab any point within the sl0t, so as' l;o adjust the roller or whce1 laterally, as clesired. By rcason cf tl1e pivoting 0l 0ne arm 0f the brackel; tl1e latler can be swung 011 said pivol1-poiut and he1(l by the binclingscrew P ab any point of the slotted arm, so as '00 adjust lahe wheel er roller vertically 0r hold it entirely oft the ground.

A c1evis, I, 0f thc usual form, is detachablj secured t0 the cross-bar B ab bhe l'ronn end of the bean1, a series ofholes being formed therein t0 receive the pivot-bolt cf thc clevis, which can thus be aclj uslzed lateral-ly a-s clesired.

K designalaes the handles, 0f the usual form, converging toward their inner ends and c0nnected together by a cross holt or pin, L, 011e of the bolts L*, which connect the plow-stand arcls I" t0 tl1e beaun, likewise connecting l;he

handles thereto.

N designalaes the standard connecting the handles t0 tl1c rear endof the beam, saidstancL ard being approximately U-shaped in form and having its two arrns slotted als the ends, as al; O, bolls Q passing; through the slots O into the handles and held by nuts n in any position within the slots, so that the handles IOO 1nay be acljusl;ecl vertically to any desired degree. ab the center ab the junction 0f 'the two arms A slot, P, is formecl in the standard N thereof, a bolb, S, passing; through this st into the beam and provicled with 2b nut to hold the handle 110 any osition so whieh it mzny be adjuslaed from the right to the 1eft. A transverse brace bar 01 rod, Z", conuects the two mmS 0f be Standard N, und thus braces the same. It1 Will be Seen that by means 01 this 0011- structiou ehe haudles may b@ adjusted b0h 1aterally and vertically 1 0 suib t-he work required t0 be (lone aud tho position 0f the plows,and may be transferred fron1 0ne brauch, i C, of t-he bezun 1'0 the other brauch, D, as found desimble. This p1ow is intended mom especially t0 be i used in eultivating hops, the plows being 2u ranged in gangs f0r filmt; purpose; but ib Will I be obxdous thab il; mz'1y be used for other pur- E poses, as will be considered convenient. Any ordinary p1ow nxay be att-aehed t0 thebeam one p1ow being arranged shghb1y in renr 0f he other, SOEIS t0 c0ver tlxe furrow made by 111e forward p1ow. Other advantagos of my invention will be appzuent t0 those skilled in the art to which this invenion appertains. The whiflietree is l attached T0 the clevis in the manner we]1 known. The plows am adjusted laterally in relation t0 each other t0 suit the W0rk required to be done, while the handles may also be adjusted for a similar purpose.

T.he p10w is simple in construetion and inexpcnsive t0 manufacture, und will prove of graut ubility und convenience f0r the purposes intended.

Having doscribed 1ny invention, I clairn In a pl0w, the combination, with the plow- Standard lmving the cross-slot and the p1owberun comprising two branches connected together, 0f the handles K, verbically pivoted ab tlxeir i1mer ends, an(1 the handle-brace N, comsisting of tw0 nnns connected together by a cross-bar, Z the uppt'zrends ofthe arms being slotted ab O, und a sirnilar s1ot, P, being formed ab the juuction 0f 1;he tw0 arms, zus seb forth.

In testimony thab I claim the foregoing as my 0Wll I hnve hereto affixed mysignature in presence 0I" bwo witnesses.
